Stranger and Stranger

“Richard Silberstein has produced a masterpiece, a book that will cause you to question everything you’ve ever known about the nature of reality, thought, and our human connection to each other and the cosmos. Read this book!” * Thom Hartmann, host of The Thom Hartmann Program and author of The Last Hours of Ancient Sunlight, U *
“I recommend Stranger and Stranger to anyone who wants to go deeper in their understanding of reality, because Silberstein so beautifully lays out the science of mystery and the mystery of science in equal measure. His mastery of neuroscience, psi, creativity, and consciousness research allows him to sculpt an understandable working model of how the brain, mind, and the universe interact to create reality. This is a mind- and heart-opening, paradigm-shifting book that makes the scientific basis of the phenomena popularized by the Telepathy Tapes podcast understandable.” * Julia Mossbridge, PhD, author of Transcendent Mind and human potential research lead for the Telepat *
“The most exciting, impactful advances come from a fearless examination of phenomena that the current paradigm does not predict or comfortably encompass. You can have no better guide to this domain than neuroscientist Richard Silberstein, whose remarkable book Stranger and Stranger not only covers but also provides fresh insights into areas where the next transformative discoveries are taking root. From hyperscanning of EEG activity to his work on creativity and the brain, Silberstein expertly weaves together state-of-the-art information with his fearless examination of current knowledge gaps. This is state-of-the-art neuroscience writ large as it relates to the broad human experience. I recommend this book most highly for its ability to expand the reader’s cognitive light cone to novel and critically important domains.” * Michael Levin, PhD, Vannevar Bush professor, Department of Biology, and director of the Allen Discov *
“Professor Silberstein graciously walks a fine line, bridging scientific rigor with a love of the unknown. Stranger and Stranger offers a rich combination of expertise and evidence that will inspire more academics to come out of their self-censoring closet and make what is strange less so.” * Alex Gomez-Marin, PhD, associate professor of the Institute for Neuroscience, Alicante, Spain *
“This book represents an unusually well-informed, determined, and engaging effort—by a highly regarded mainstream academic steeped in modern physics and cognitive neuroscience—to understand how the reality we inhabit may be structured so as to permit the existence of well-documented human capacities for supernormal or ‘psychic’ experiences of various kinds. A very welcome and highly recommended contribution!” * Edward F. Kelly, PhD, professor in the Division of Perceptual Studies at the University of Virginia *
“For those who are skeptical yet open-minded and curious, this book offers a fascinating journey into concepts as diverse as nested hierarchies of consciousness and retrocausality—while remaining grounded in genuine science. And who better to investigate these mysteries than Richard Silberstein? A former physics department chair, founder of a brain sciences research institute, and a researcher currently investigating nonsensory connections between identical twins, Silberstein brings a rare and compelling perspective to profound questions.” * Paul Nunez, Professor Emeritus of Biomedical Engineering at Tulane University and author of Electric *
“I have just now finished reading Stranger and Stranger, which I consider one of the most important books ever written.” * Bill Harvey, cofounder and CEO of Research Measurement Technologies (RMT) *
